CREATING BETTER WAYS TO MOVE SOUTH AFRICA
It is an exciting time to be part of the rail sector in South Africa. Investment in the development of the
South African rail network is set to reach an all time high and rail projects are being prioritized at a
national and local level. This underlines what we at Bombardier have long believed – Rail is good for
the economy and it’s good for the environment. What’s more, it’s driven by popular demand – today’s
travelers are choosing rail.
We owe it to these passengers to provide the best train technology the world has to off er, with
equipment and services that make their journey experience a better one. At Bombardier, it is our
mission to provide trains that prioritise comfort and accessibility for today’s passengers and transport
systems that improve connectivity by bringing people to their destinations more quickly and reliably.
And in all our products and equipment you will see tangible evidence of our commitment to delivering
more sustainable transport.
Bombardier Transportation has been established in South Africa since 1995, supporting the local
industry with rolling stock, rail control solutions, product maintenance and services, as well as
locomotive and commuter train refurbishment programs.
Our Long-term partnerships with major customers have repeatedly shown benefi t in terms of product
development for specifi c applications, local support to maintain the high reliability for which we are
known and confi dent on-time delivery to enable clear business planning.
Bombardier Transportation South Africa aims to invest in local manufacturing capacity, training and
improving the skills development of local employees, while working with local suppliers to achieve the
same objectives.
While rail passengers have higher expectations from their trains, transport operators and asset
owners also have more challenging requirements for the performance of their trains. We welcome this
incentive to continually push new boundaries in the innovative design of our products and evolution
of our services.
In this publication we would like to share some of the projects we have been a proud part
of in South Africa and would like to introduce our transportation solutions that drive the evolution
of mobility and make a diff erence to the communities they serve.

AN AFRICAN DREAMGautrain Rapid Rail Link
Bombardier Transportation, as a member of the Bombela Consortium, was awarded a contract by
the Gauteng Provincial Government of South Africa to provide an 80 km rapid rail transit system to
connect Johannesburg, Tshwane (Pretoria) and the OR Tambo International Airport. The complete
system commenced service in June 2012.

Bombardier delivered the design and supply of the core electrical and mechanical systems for
Gautrain, a prestigious project including a fl eet of 96 state-of-the-art BOMBARDIER* ELECTROSTAR*
vehicles, as well as providing 15 years of maintenance services together with our local Broad Based
Black Empowerment partners.
The majority of the 96 Gautrain vehicles underwent fi nal assembly in South Africa. The ELECTROSTAR
vehicles are designed for commuter operation and are capable of operating at speeds of up to 160 km/h.
The new intercity system features the BOMBARDIER* CITYFLO* 250 train control technology, well
proven on transportation systems in Europe. The Gautrain project created more than 8,200 local
direct jobs, and an estimated 44,300 indirect jobs.

As leader of the consortium Bombardier Africa Alliance,
Bombardier won a contract at the beginning of 2013 to
implement one of the largest conventional mainline
re-signalling projects in South Africa.
The consortium, which includes ERB Technologies, Basil
Read, Bakara Engineering, R&H Railway Consultants,
SIMS and Tractionel, is delivering the globally-proven,
state-of-the-art BOMBARDIER* INTERFLO* 200 rail
control solution for the Passenger Rail Agency of
South Africa (PRASA). The planned increase in trains
operating on the lines is set to enhance mobility for
about 700,000 passengers daily in the region.
The INTERFLO signalling solution, scheduled to be
delivered by 2017, will enable 2.5 minute headways,
eliminating bottlenecks while increasing safety and
availability at 42 stations and 120 km of double-track.
The upgrade also includes the latest version of the high
capacity BOMBARDIER* EBI* Lock 950 computer-based
interlocking and EBI Screen 900 central traffic control
(CTC) system as well as replacement of all wayside
equipment. Associated telecommunications equipment
is being provided while the civil works include
modifications to existing platforms, track and
overhead equipment and new pedestrian bridges.
IMPLEMENTING ONE OF THE LARGEST RE-SIGNALLING PROJECTS IN SOUTH AFRICA

Bombardier Transportation is used to the attention
directed to the new trains it delivers worldwide. Yet it
has an equally significant services business, dedicated
to supporting customers throughout the life cycle of
their rolling stock, offering services including:
• Fleet Maintenance
• Operations and Maintenance
• Vehicle Refurbishment and Modernisation
• Material Management
• Spares Supply
• Innovation and Technology
Our Services team in South Africa is setting high
standards for the rail industry to follow. Not only are
they involved in ongoing refurbishment programmes,
like the 11E project that began in 2009 to overhaul
the static inverters on the 11E coal line fleet in
Richards Bay, the team are also leading in innovative
maintenance systems like the new AVI System.
The Automated Vehicle Inspection (AVI) SystemBombardier’s engineering teams combine the strengths
of design authority expertise, information systems and
technical innovation to deliver maintenance service
systems that are exclusive to Bombardier. Another
world first innovative development is our Automated
Vehicle Inspection System - The (AVI) System.
The AVI System combines external measurements
with the train’s onboard data to optimize overall
maintenance. Our South African Gautrain Maintenance
team is pioneering this project for Bombardier and has
two sites at the Midrand Depot currently compiling the
analytical information.
At the first site various measurements on wheel profile,
pantograph, axles, brake pads and discs among others
are collected as the train passes through. At the second
site an array of strain gauges measure wheel tread
damage. The BOMBARDIER* ORBITA* software
combines and analyses the data to determine what
repairs and maintenance need to be carried out.
The AVI system increases reliability, improves
maintenance safety and reduces overall maintenance
costs.
THE FIRST CHOICE FOR RELIABILITY, AVAILABILITY AND MAINTAINABILITY

The BOMBARDIER* TRAXX* locomotive family
incorporates electric and diesel-electric locomotives for
freight and passenger services based on the Class 185
platform concept.
It consists of the following types:
• AC Locomotives (alternating current)
• MS Locomotives (multi-system)
• DC Locomotives (direct current)
• DE Locomotives (diesel-electric)
The TRAXX locomotives cover all types of railway
applications in Europe. They operate on all UIC standard
gauge railways and in cross-border freight and
passenger services. Standardization and modularization
enable a high degree of system and component
commonality. All TRAXX locomotives feature a great
number of identical elements, e.g. vehicle dimensions,
machine room concept, brake equipment, bogies,
traction motors and drive systems, signaling and
communication systems, control and diagnostic
systems, as well as driver’s cab. The operators benefit
from significant savings in operations and maintenance
through low life-cycle costs, high operational availability
and the service-friendly design of our TRAXX locomotives.
GPS tracking, GSM remote diagnostics and video
cameras for monitoring the train in operation are key
components of the communication systems. Prepared
for the European Train Control System (ETCS), the
TRAXX locomotives are ready today for the trans-
European traffic needs of tomorrow.
To date, more than 1,600 TRAXX locomotives have been
ordered, hauling freight and passenger trains on a daily
basis, many of them on cross-border services.
In 2012 Bombardier presented an innovation with pure
diesel operation: the TRAXX P160 DE Multi-Engine.
Its four diesel engines provide it with performance
flexibility in new dimensions. Both freight and passenger
transportation operators profit from this.

The efficient movement of freight 24 hours a day, 365
days a year, is essential to a modern and productive
resource industry, vital to support growth, skilled jobs
and industrialisation. Specifically designed for industrial
and mining applications, BOMBARDIER* INTERFLO* 150
optimises and maximises the rapid transport of raw
materials to enable fully automated continuous, efficient
and streamlined productivity.
As a proven hi-tech signalling solution, INTERFLO 150
successfully combines industrial logistics and
automation to significantly increase efficiency, capacity
and safety in the most innovative and cost effective
way. This is achieved by introducing a communication-
based train control (CBTC) system with moving block
technology which is fully automated, driverless,
integrated with a mine’s loading and unloading systems
and scalable to the customer’s requirements.
Bombardier is a leading provider of rail control solutions
and turnkey projects which have been supplied to the
mining industry worldwide. Our systems have been
installed in wide-spread remote locations ranging from
the world’s largest copper reserves within Codelco in
the Chilean Andes, to more recent installations in one of
the world’s most automated underground mines, LKAB
in northern Sweden.
OPTIMISING THE MOVEMENT OF ORE AND FREIGHT
11
In many countries across the world, serious or even fatal
accidents continue to occur on level crossings despite
numerous public safety campaigns warning of the
danger of level crossings. There are currently over 7,500
level crossings in South Africa.
Bombardier’s EBI Gate level crossings are suitable for
both road and pedestrian use in an urban environment
as well as being designed for railway lines which
are currently “open” or “uncontrolled”. They can be
operated automatically or manually by the crossing
keeper, train dispatcher or in rural locations by a
member of the general public.
Products include:
• EBI Gate 2000 – An automatic level crossing
system which can be installed on a single or
multiple track line, electrified or non-electrified.
• EBI Gate 200 - The first crossing of its kind
designed to harness renewable energy through
wind and solar power, the system can be easily
installed as an overlay system independent from
any existing railway infrastructure. It is ideal for
rural locations and is easy to operate.
• EBI Gate 100 – A pedestrian platform crossing
which can be used with an interlocking or as
a stand-alone system.
MAKING LEVEL CROSSINGS SAFER
12
Bombardier’s response to today’s challenges has been
to introduce a radically new and comprehensive
definition of very high speed (VHS). All the
expertise and experience gained from building
more that 850 high and VHS trains in the
past two decades has been invested in the
development of a new very high speed
train: the BOMBARDIER* ZEFIRO*. The
outcome is a new sense of speed in
VHS rail travel. A top operating speed
of 380 km/h and a VHS sleeper
version that flies through the night
at 250 km/h are evidence enough.
The ZEFIRO comprehensively
redefines VHS rail travel by adding the
dimensions of very high efficiency and
very high dedication to that of very
high performance. The ZEFIRO is one of the world’s
most economical and eco-friendly VHS trains.
The open tube layout in the ZEFIRO’s non-
articulated train concept enables capacities
to be adjusted to accommodate between
450 and 1,300 seats. If the maximum
seating arrangement is chosen, the
ZEFIRO has the highest capacity of
any VHS train.
It combines the highest capacity in
the market with pioneering levels
of passenger comfort and employs
leading-edge technologies and
advanced aerodynamics to reduce
energy consumption. Just the standard-
setting VHS train you would expect
from a global leader in rail technology.
A NEW SENSE OF SPEED
